This section covers known issues and behaviors that require further explanation: Non-Standardized attributes for few records in countries such as, United Arab Emirates (ARE), Argentina (ARG), Bahrain (BHR), Canada (CAN), Switzerland (CHE), Czech Republic (CZE), Germany (DEU), Spain (ESP), Greece (GRC), Kuwait (KWT), Netherland (NLD), Oman (OMN), Poland (POL), Qatar (QAT), Romania (ROU), Russia (RUS), Saudi Arab (SAU) and Slovakia (SVK). Some invalid values exist in the Name, areaname1, areaname2 and areaname, TradeName and Postcode column including instances where the Postcode column has values as zeroes. Non Standardized formattedaddress, mainaddressline and addresslastline for few records in Australia. Some diacritic loss in Name, TradeName, formattedaddress, mainaddressline, addresslastline, areaname1 and areaname3, CEO name, Domestic Ultimate Address, Global Ultimate Address and Parent Address columns. There are a few instances of text truncation exist for the Name, TradeName, Business Line, areaname3, formattedaddress, mainaddressline, Http, Email and areaname2 columns. There are a few instances where the Employee Here (number of employees at the current location) count mismatches the Employee count (total number of employees). There are a few instances that have inconsistent Status Code and Subsidiary Indicator mapping. The Email, Http, Ticker symbol, and Exchange Name columns are not populated for many countries. The SIC8 (code) descriptions are undergoing updates. As a result, some values may not have any or updated description(s) and may have been removed. The administrative layer names of countries are not standardized. As a result, some areaname4 values may be blank. There are a few instances where different variations of the same name are encountered in the areaname1 column. There are few mismatches in areaname1 and Stabb field as areaname1 is not necessarily the highest hierarchical administrative region, whereas, Stabb field is the highest available administrative region. Mainaddressline and formattedaddress are not standardized in few records. There are a few instances where House number / Street Name is appearing twice in mainaddressline. There are a few instances where the areaname3 is populated with the name of a different admin level. Two ISO3 (BLM, MAF) are included in both country bundles of France(FRA) and Minor Americas(MAM).
